Fruitarianism – the way to go?

Some while ago I researched this subject for a detox website. I love fruit and vegetables (and meat before you ask) so it was interesting for me plus I got paid for it too.

In general fruitarians follow a diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds but not grain and definitely no animal products. Many won’t even eat a plant but just the fruit that naturally falls from the plant, bush or tree. Others include pulses and olive oil.

Apart from possible vitamin deficiencies, B₁₂  for example, which cannot be obtained from fruits, most adults following this regime are deemed fit and healthy.

Some followers believe that fruitarianism started with Adam & Eve. And even Idi Amin joined in when in exile/retirement in Saudi Arabia, although it didn't do him much good as he died of multiple organ failure in 2003.
